The two couples, both due to wed at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, now live at adjacent cottages at Kensington Palace.

Last Monday, while the Duchess of Cambridge was having baby Louis, Eugenie, 28, and wine merchant Jack, 31, took over three-bedroom Ivy Cottage. Harry and Meghan are in the two-bed Nottingham Cottage.

A pal said: “Harry and Eugenie are great mates. She was one of the first people who met Meghan. They have been on loads of dinner dates together.

“The two couples have been on loads of dinner dates together, and Jack and Eug hung out with Meghan while she was still living in Toronto.

“Eugenie is so pleased. It’s the first time she and Jack have lived together. They wanted to move in earlier but there were arguments over who paid for renovations.”

Also at the palace are William, Kate and family, the Dukes and Duchess’s of Gloucester and Kent plus Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

At the end of January, the Duke of York announced Eugenie’s engagement to wine merchant Jack, whom she’d dated for seven years.

Harry, 32, and Meghan, 36, are to wed on May 19 while Eugenie and Jack follow suit on October 12.
Their wedding is expected to be a much smaller affair than Harry’s.
